different warring states of japan

Looking at Fujibayashi Mukuro, Yoshiyin felt very tired.

As the saying goes, it is rare to be confused, and being confused is a blessing, but if I am like this, pretending to be confused every day and every night, I always feel that I am a complete fool and a scapegoat.

Yiyin sighed.

"You go down and rest first."

In the end, Yiyin gritted his teeth and pretended to be confused this time.

Fujibayashi Mukuro and Momochi San Taifu had a grudge against each other for killing their mother and sister. If Mitsuhide Akechi kills Momochi and releases Fujibayashi, there is nothing fishy about it, Yoshihiro doesn't believe it.

But after all, Fujibayashi was the woman he had slept with, and he was avenging another woman he had slept with, so Yoshigami really couldn't be cruel.

Forget it, as soon as Momochi Santao died, Fujibayashi Mukuro should let go of the past and work for himself with peace of mind. Now is the time to employ people, so don't go into details.

Yoshigami lowered his head and waved his hand, asking Kamou Clan to take Fujibayashi Mukuo down.

The two women bowed and left. After Fujibayashi turned around, his face showed the joy of surviving the disaster, while Kamaojigo looked worriedly at the saint who lowered his head and said nothing.

As the footsteps faded away, Yiyin was the only one left in the room. He looked at the tatami in numbness and clenched his hands unconsciously.

Ten days. . That Oda Nobunaga. . Is she really dead?

The scene in the past when Oda Nobunaga was dressed in red and cut off Oda Nobuyuki's head with his own hands is still deeply engraved in Yoshigami's mind.

Her face showed excitement, sadness, and resentment, but not relief.

She spent her whole life competing with the dead, wanting to prove her excellence to her mother, and wanting to regain the beautiful childhood she could never get back.

Yiyin opened his hands and looked at the lines on his palms. It was these hands that once tightly hugged that surly and arrogant woman. At that time, her face only had peace and happiness.

I killed her. . If not for my appearance. . She will not become weak and hesitant. . She won't die. .

Now that the bloodless and tearless Demon King has feelings and sustenance, she is no longer invulnerable and can be killed.

Yoshigan closed his eyes in pain and raised his head. Akechi Mitsuhide's always elegant, respectful and pretty face appeared in his mind.

That bastard. . She always wanted to kill Oda Nobunaga. . She wanted to kill Oda Nobunaga from the beginning. . All the overtures she made were to hide her true intentions. .

Yoshihiro, who felt his head was about to burst, had never been so clear-headed. The past was like a dream, and scenes passed before his eyes. Akechi Mitsuhide's various strange behaviors had reasonable explanations today.

At this moment, the words of Akechi Mitsuhide echoed in Yoshigan's ears.

Where there is light, there is darkness. There must be someone to kick away the stones on the road and push away the weeds and thorns for you. You are the holy and innocent God of this world, so let me do it for you. .

Yiyin couldn't help but rub his temples.

That stupid woman of mine. . She wants to kill my woman. . Also killing herself. .

Oda Nobunaga is dead, and the four million koku Oda leader will never be able to calm down easily.

Those Oda retainers are not good people. They will not let go of the murderer of Oda Nobunaga. That is their political bargaining chip to reasonably obtain Oda's inheritance.

Akechi Mitsuhide knew this very well, and she did this on purpose, killing Oda Nobunaga, sacrificing herself, and allowing the Shiba family to annex Oda's territory and achieve the Shiba world.

Yiyin couldn't help groaning, and the anger rushed from his heart to Tianling Gai. "Akechi Mitsuhide, you bastard... you bastard bastard!"

Yiyin knows! Sooner or later there will be such a day! Sooner or later, Akechi Mitsuhide will play himself to death one day! It will mess things up completely!

This stupid idealist, this poisonous person who is good at using conspiracy, her extreme and narrow-mindedness have taken the wrong path!

As long as Oda Nobunaga is killed and the Shiba family becomes the only powerful lord in the world, will the Shiba world be achieved? Stop talking nonsense!

If it were so easy to establish a political power, the Ashikaga Shogunate would not have waited until the third generation of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu came to power to truly gain a foothold.

The Wu family regime Yiyin wants is to get rid of the stable order of the Wu family's sudden rise and fall in the past. This requires completely overturning the underlying logic of the Wu family regime.

What is the underlying logic of the regime?

The foundation of a regime is order. The reason why everyone is willing to abide by order is that the regime has strong enough violent institutions, and maintaining stable violent institutions requires money! money! money!

In the final analysis, this world is material. If you don’t have money, just send it! The underlying logic of the regime is how to obtain enough money to maintain stable financial revenue for violent institutions, that is, taxes.

What economic foundation the tax base comes from is the foundation of political power.

The imperial court of the island country established a manor-based economic system, and the samurai family began as servants who protected the manor for the emperor's court.

Over the course of hundreds of years, the samurai family gradually swallowed up the estates of the emperor and ministers. The court lost its tax base and its finances collapsed. In turn, it was the foundation for the rise of the samurai family's regime.

Ashikaga Takauji, the first Ashikaga shogun, was beaten so hard by the imperial court that he even fled to the Western Kingdom alone for a time, seemingly at the end of his rope.

But the Western samurai family was willing to gather under the white flag of her, a fugitive, and fight to the end for the Ashikaga family and the imperial court.

The seemingly romantic historical story records the loyalty of the Imperial family of the Western Kingdom who never forgot their oath and were always loyal to the direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi.

But the reality is cruel. The real reason why the Western samurai family has no hesitation is that the emperor's court, which defeated Ashikaga Takauji, has begun to recover the estates that were swallowed up by the samurai family, that is, the tax base.

In the earlier Kamakura shogunate period, Minamoto Yoritomo was supported by the samurai family as the first shogun, also because the Hime warriors needed someone to rectify the name of the manor they had usurped.

After defeating the Taira clan who became a public minister, Minamoto Yoritomo obtained the management rights of the manor from the emperor's court, allowing the samurai to legitimately turn the court's tax base into their own territory.

This is like real estate. The Wu family was originally a security guard. Because the owner of the property was absent for a long time, the Wu family moved in on their own initiative.

Although the Wu family lives in this house, if the owner refuses to acknowledge it, the Wu family will feel uneasy.

Minamoto Yoritomo obtained the real estate certificate from the owner and asked the Wu family to serve him. Whoever does a good job can get the real estate certificate.

As a result, the samurai family members contributed money and efforts one after another, working hard for Minamoto Yoritomo and obtaining the property certificate for the house they occupied.

This is the reward of public service.

The Bando Hachihei family has been loyal to the White Flag for generations and to the direct descendants of the Genji family in Hanoi. These are just slogans. The core reason why the Wu family fights for the Genji family is for the real estate certificate.

As for the real estate certificate obtained by the Wu family, at the end of the Kamakura shogunate, the emperor's court suddenly refused to recognize it.

The collapse of the Kamakura shogunate gave the emperor hope to suppress the samurai family, recover the tax base, and reorganize the imperial court's financial resources.

The samurai were naturally unwilling to give in, so they supported Ashikaga Takauji, defeated the emperor's court again, and confirmed that the validity period of their real estate certificates would be extended again.
